On the "Copyright (C) 2014 Johan Andersson", are you suggesting I change the copyright notice in ert-async.el myself, or that I should contact the author and tell him to change it?

In either case that seems inappropriate.

context-coloring/languages/javascript/libraries/ also includes 3 JavaScript libraries with their own copyright notices. These appear to be licensed under the FreeBSD license. Should they be handled specially?

Indeed, it's OK to keep the history.

I think the hydra-test.el has been fixed by someone else in the
mean time.  As for your change:

I think this change is incorrect.  IIUC this is johan.rejeep@gmail.com
we're talking bout, and he signed the copyright assignment forms, so
the line in ert-async.el should say "Copyright (C) 2014 Free Software
Foundation, Inc" (at which point you won't need any change to copyright_exceptions).
